Abstract: | The mechanism of the protonation of solid metal (hydr)oxides in aqueous media, which is closely interrelated to many processes of great technological and environmental importance, has been elucidated using simulation and experimental work. The electrical potential, smeared out at the interfacial region, changes the concentration of the H+ ions on the surface of the (hydr)oxide, thus promoting or hindering protonation. This is manifested by the shifts of the protonation peaks of the various kinds of surface sites and the appearance of an extra peak in the differential potentiometric titration curve. |
